Weeks before
presentation day, I wanted to learn about cyber security. However, it has
brought to my attention that cyber bullying can still be problematic today. So,
I decided to present on cyber bullying because I believe that it may link to
suicide and privacy (issues). Cyber bullying can vary and it is quite hard to
know when to draw the line in prosecute the bully. Many cases of cyber bullying
still exist, but one of the biggest cases known in history was Amanda Todd.
With everything she went through, especially and including sexual harassment,
she eventually died via commit suicide due to the stress. I find it nice that
many schools—and almost all—have some sort of policy when it comes to
bullying/cyber bullying. However, it is still unfortunate that—with the amount of
technology we have now that’s still rapidly progressing/evolving—there are
still no actual federal laws for cyber bullying. I also believe that cyber
bullying can take in the form of privacy invasion. I’ve encountered one time, a
long time ago when I was a pre-teen online, I received threats from a stranger
online that they’ll be able to track me, find me, or even find out my personal
information and I fear that much for many people who can still encounter that
same situation today. I find cyber bullying to be complicated because at times,
when I do think of it, I also think of how it can also relate to security or
privacy issues – i.e. blackmail and stalking. I never thought stalking back
then would be a form of bullying until now. Cyber bullying isn’t simply the
teasing, or calling names or even trolling. Cyber bullying can escalate into
something much bigger and worse.
